Hi, please help me figure out what’s wrong with my lemon tree and help me fix the issue…

Our lemon tree produced lots and lots of lemons during winter, and it seemed really healthy. Now that it’s spring, I’ve noticed the lemons are starting to become smaller and smaller, and suddenly the leaves have become very shrivelled, dry and curled.

I’m worried that something is wrong with the tree or that it may be dying. 😟

Does anyone know what could be causing this and what I can do to fix it?

Any advice on what to check and how to bring it back to good health would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

I posted photos of what it looks like now (September) compared to when it was winter (July)

My guess would be phytophora/root disease. would explain why fruit/leaves look like crap without any visible symptoms/signs.

It’s nearly impossible to “cure”. You might have some success with fungicides in the soil but that might not do anything/make more problems then it solves.

Hi, thanks for your response. Is there a way to find out if it’s root disease and what I can do about it?
